...alleged liberal slant. "It shows once more how easy it is to % hoodwink our media elite," wrote Reed Irvine, chairman of the right-wing pressure group Accuracy in Media (AIM). The conservative weekly Human Events said MacDougall's revelations will no doubt "raise concerns about the ability of Marxist agents to penetrate the mainstream media." The Wall Street Journal issued a statement expressing its outrage. "It is troubling," said the Journal, "that any man who brags of having sought to push a personal, political agenda on unsuspecting editors and readers should be teaching journalism at a respected university...
...former computer operator and onetime Marxist who moved to the far right in the mid-1970s, LaRouche has been living in luxury on an estate near Leesburg, Va., where heavily armed guards watch for would-be assassins. His followers set up tables in airports to solicit contributions and sell books and magazines whose extreme views are disguised by innocuous titles like Executive Intelligence Review. Believing that LaRouche's goals justified his means, others borrowed millions from supporters, knowing the money would never be returned. Judge Bryan refused to grant LaRouche bail pending appeal, and dispatched him to an Alexandria jail...
...legacies Ronald Reagan bequeathed to George Bush, few are as vexing as Nicaragua. Stripped of all its rhetoric, the Reagan Administration's policy was entirely geared to overthrowing the Sandinista regime.

It was one of Reagan's starkest foreign policy failures, producing neither a military victory nor a diplomatic...
...neatly typed letter to Mayor Marta Gomez de Melendez opened with a cordial greeting. But there was no mistaking it for fan mail. The message from the Marxist-led Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (F.M.L.N.) informed the mayor of Cojutepeque that she was obstructing El Salvador's revolution and gave her a choice: resign within 72 hours or face "popular justice." Gomez, a normally outspoken member of the right-wing ARENA party, knew exactly what * the last phrase meant. In the past year, eight mayors who ignored similar F.M.L.N. invitations to quit had been "executed," as the rebels call their...
Bingham does not deny the role. In fact, she relishes it. From a perspective perhaps best described as that of a millionaire Marxist-feminist, she views the Bingham dynasty, the state of Kentucky, the nation and the entire male-dominated world as mired in class conflicts, exploitation, racism and sexism. There is no denying that Bingham puts her money where her mouth is: she has donated $10 million to the Kentucky Foundation for Women. But after Passion and Prejudice, she will probably be remembered for putting her mouth where her money...
